NadB
possibly boosts cellular metabolism by tuning up the citric acid cycle
Literature Characterization by AFCM-Egypt
The study created a reporter construct by joining the C-terminus of CD63, one of the most used exosome markers, to nanoluc (nluc), a tiny and potent bioluminescence reporter10. After progressive centrifugation to eliminate masking signals12, luminescence in the cell-culture supernatant was measured. This reporter gene was co-transfected with plasmids expressing potential candidates for exosome production augmentation.
The study found STEAP3 syndecan-4 (SDC4), and (NadB) as potential synthetic exosome production boosters. Combined expression of these genes significantly increased exosome production, and a tricistronic plasmid vector ( known as exosome production booster), which guarantees that transfected cells receive all boosted genes at a fixed ratio ,produced a 15-fold to 40-fold increase (depending on cell conditions) in the luminescence signal in the supernatant.
Characterization By Mutational Landscape by AFCM-Egypt
In order to optimize the function of our parts, we've used the concept of Directed Evolution through applying different mutations and measuring the effects of these mutations on their evolutionary epistatic fitness. As displayed in the chart below, the mutation (H196R) shows the highest epistatic fitness, while the lowest score was associated with the mutation (C308H).

Presence of NadB part will aid in increasing the level of engineered exosomes so it plays an effective role to increase the efficacy of the therapeutic agent.
We compared both condition of exosomes production when using booster genes and without it
(1)No booster genes with conditioned release
This Represents the relation between the activation of the internal domain of the Syn-Notch (represented as red line) and production of exosomes with specific cargo (represented as blue line) as the production of the engineered exosomes is initiated once the internal domain is activated.

This Represents the relation between the activation of the internal domain of the Syn-Notch (represented as red line) and production of exosomes with specific cargo (represented as blue line) as the production of the engineered exosomes is initiated once the internal domain is activated.
